l-Valacyclovir, a prodrug of acyclovir, is a substrate for the peptide transporter (PepT1) in the intestinal mucosa, which accounts for its higher than expected oral bioavailability. The substrate activity of l-valacyclovir for PepT1 is surprising, particularly when one considers that the molecule has the structural features of a nucleoside rather than a peptide. In an attempt to better understand the structure–transport relationships (STR) for the interactions ...
